Package: apt
Version: 0.6.25
Severity: normal

Hello, here is a snapshot of conversation with apt-get. fuse-source is
currently installed in an old version (from Sarge) and I want to have
that upgraded automaticaly. But the -y option used with the install
command fails!

Ignoring this package. Maybe you need to add something to sources.list, 
maybe the contrib and non-free archives.

So which problems? Tell me!

Next thing I did: enabled experimental sources again and tried with the experimental version 0.6.36. Same problem.

This bug has seen no activity since 10 years, and with APT
1.1, we actually replaced --force-yes by options that tell
you more about the nature of the problem:

	--allow-downgrades
	--allow-remove-essential
	--allow-change-held-packages

I am thus closing it.
